As a U.S. military veteran, I have seen firsthand how military service can take a toll on both physical and mental health. Many veterans struggle with chronic pain, PTSD, anxiety, depression, and other conditions related to their service.
Despite their sacrifices, veterans often do not have access to a safe and effective treatment option: cannabis. As an advocate for veterans’ rights, I believe that veterans should have access to cannabis as a viable treatment option.
Cannabis has been a game-changer for many veterans, providing relief when traditional treatments have failed and enabling us to lead more fulfilling lives.
Unfortunately, veterans are often denied access to cannabis due to the federal government’s outdated classification of it as a Schedule I drug.
